I looked at this incomiing msg here, in raw format. It appears
to be encoded but I couldn't find a mime boundary statement, but somehow 
my tde version of kmail did decode it to display the above.  I also note 
that it passed thru a yahoo server at one point, so that is another 
common clue as yahoo has been in the middle of quite a few email 
problems on the net in general recently.  And something has essentially 
obliterated the verifiable src of this message.

Suggestion: get rid of yahoo, and use your own isp's mail server. IMO 
that is smething YOU pay for when you pay your monthly bill.  Call them 
up and ask them!

FWIW, the msg's actual content, as it arrived here, looks like this:

Looks a wee bit like base64 encoding. But no mime-boundary statements can 
be seen.

But theres 10+ kilobytes of tracing and huge, 2 to 4 kilobyte dkms 
signatures in front of that 5 line long msg.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
